Score 86/100 · Drink 2018-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2018

The 2016 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard comes across as overripe and stewed in its favor profile, with grainy tannins and a short finish. The wine's balance and overall harmony are lacking.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple in color and gives up notions of warm plums and baked raspberries with wild blueberries, tilled soil and dark chocolate hints plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied and generously fruited, it fills the palate with juicy black berry flavors supported by plush tannins and finishing with an herbal lift. 290 cases produced.
